“1999 Chrysler Cirrus, will not start after rain. There is no distributor and I feel that it could be a problem with the fuel system. I pump the gas and try to turn it over it just cranks sometimes it does eventually start. I have missed days of work. So when ever it rains I am always worried, this happens often.”
NHTSA complaint #10293683, filed 2009-11, 134,000 miles“(1)a 1999 chysler Cirrus was run to near empty on gas. The gauge read between a quarter tank and empty on the way to the gas station. Upon arriving at the gas station the tank was filled. After filling with gas, I proceeded to try after start my car and it failed to function. My husband who is a self-employeed mechanic thought it to be a problem with the fuel pump. (2)upon removal of the gas tank unit and the fuel pump assembly, we found there to be a possible hazard with the wiring harness located inside of the gas tank unit itself. …”
NHTSA complaint #10125244, filed 2005-06, 70,900 miles“While driving the engine light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who found that fuel vapors were leaking from the gas tank. The dealer replaced the fuel tank seals, but the engine light continued to illuminate. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the mechanic determined that the vehicle should not be driven because of safety precautions and recommended replacing the fuel tank. The seal was replaced again however there was a small indentation where tank seal fit.”
NHTSA complaint #10061656, filed 2004-04, 82,601 miles“I just felt this problem needed to be reported since it involved gas leakage. My vehicle started by leaking a small amount of gas and then progressed to larger volumes. I beleived this was possibly a problem that needed to be reported since it could involve injuries if left undetected and unrepaired.”
